Percussive Moldable Earplugs 33 dB NRR for Hunting & Shooting, Gun Range Hearing Protection for Shooters, Reusable Ear Plugs for Shooting Range, molding Tool Included

I've had these for a few months and taken them to my local indoor range every time I've been since getting them. I most recently used them today and so far I've been very happy. The molding process is easy and, best of all, if you mess up or don't get a great fit the first time you can redo them. I use the rolldown foam tips for maximum noise suppression and because the Xmas tree tips never fit my ears well on any product. The downside there is that I'll have to replace them with frequent use, but I already deal with that for some of my personal headphones so it's a known quantity. If you have an existing pair of decibullz, you can just pop the percussive filters in and skip the molding altogether. Now, how do the filters work? In a word, great. I shoot at an indoor range that requires you to have your ears on before entering the bay (obviously), so I put them in at the counter and usually have to tap them a couple of times because I can hear right thru them and wonder if they're in. They always are, it's just that easy to hear thru them when no loud noise is happening. I can always hear the RSOs when they issue commands or ask questions, but the person shooting in the stall next to me, let alone my own firearm, doesn't blow out my ears. It doesn't fully negate the flinch factor when you first walk into the room like a good pair of electronic muffs does, but it lowers noise below the safety threshold and you get used to the popping quickly. As for the firearm in my hand, I've only tested them with my 9mm handgun by themselves by they do a great job of dimming the sound. Nothing ever hurt or left me ringing thru a couple hundred rounds at a time. When I've shot my rifle (AR-15 in 5.56) in the same room so far I've doubled up with my muffs (Walker Razors) with their external pickups on, but I suspect that the decibullz would perform well on their own. I'd likely be more comfortable not doubling if I were outdoors with the rifle (the bays in my range are fairly small). If you're on the fence, just do it. If you're already a decibullz user, the price is a little steep, but with this kit you not only get the percussive filters, but basically an entirely new set of plugs (great if you have a SO or friend who may need/want a custom pair of plugs). The included carrying case is also superior to the little cloth bag that comes with a standard set. It's well worth the money. Side Note: These may also work well for concerts or other loud events, but as I bought them in 2020 I haven't been able to test them in those environments.

This review is for the Decibullz - Custom Molded Percussive Filters I'm a pretty avid shooter and I also volunteer as an RSO at my local range. I prefer ear plugs when I shoot, but I've been wearing electronic muffs when I work so I can hear what's going on. They also make it easier to talk with people on a hot line. The problem with electronic muffs, or plugs, is that when they cut out from a shot, or multiple shots, the delay to come back on can make conversations sound like a bad cell connection. Not to mention always having to charge/change batteries. It gets annoying. These plugs allow me to hear whats going on, and I'm able to hold a conversation a lot better as well. Make no mistake, these are earplugs and they sound like earplugs! But ambient noises sound more like you're using cotton balls rather than plugs with a NRR rating of 30+. Even though the sound is muffled I can hear a .22LR hit the target (paper target on cardboard backstop) @ 100 yards, clearly! On the same token, they seem to offer good protection from the loud boomers. There was someone sighting in a 416 Weatherby (literal elephant gun) and I suffered no discomfort from the shots, or ringing in my ears when he was done. So I'm definitely satisfied with the performance of these plugs! As for the fitting, I suggest you watch a few videos and familiarize yourself with the process before you start! I also suggest using a larger (silicone) ear piece than you think you need for the molding process. It took me 2 tries to get the plugs formed to my ears to where I thought they were fit and formed properly. Half way through my 1st day wearing them they became really uncomfortable. It was because the ear piece was pushed too far into my ear and caused pressure. When I got home that night I took the foam off and put the larger silicone pieces on, reheated, and remolded them. Finally, I put the foam ear pieces back on, and now I can wear them all day long with no discomfort! Overall I am really happy with these plugs! Like you, I was reading the reviews to see if they were worth the money. The price is a lil steep for a product with a rating of less than 4 stars, but I think people were expecting to hear as well as an electronic device, or at least open ears. I pretty much knew what to expect, and these went a bit beyond that! These plugs are def a quality product and definitely worth the money in my opinion. They come with a case and a set extra molds. If you spring an extra $5 for a lanyard, you can have 2 sets of hearing protection (1 without filters, of course), so that's a pretty decent deal! These are also about half the price of halfway decent electronic ear plugs, and don't require any maintenance, other than cleaning.

I bought a set of these thinking that it would be a great non-electronic way to protectmy hearing while still being able to hear and understand people talking at the range. I was disappointed. These were not easy to fit. I had to re-mold these things at least six times to get them to fit properly. I'm a big guy with very large ears, and I dont think there's enough of the moldable plastic for it to work properly. In addition, the solid plastic core that connects the sound filter to the foam or silicone insert is too short. After heating the thermoplastic, I pushed the largest silicone plug deep into my ear canal so that it would seal properly. The plastic just flowed around the top of the temporary filter several times. After some practice, I was able to get the molded part to allow me to remove the temporary filter and replace it with the actual sound filter, but the molded part didn't really fill the bowl of my ear, so there wasn't much to hold onto. I called the company and they were not helpful. They insisted I was doing it wrong. They offered a refund, and I should have taken them up on it, but I was determined to make it work. It turns out that you have to use the foam plugs and not the silicone for shooting or else the noise reduction isn't good. When actually using them, the first challenge is to get them in properly. I need to mark left and right because the oddly shaped monstrosities that resulted from my best efforts to get a good fit are difficult to figure out how to fit. I have used these at least a half dozen times, and I still have trouble getting them in, but after some fiddling I manage. With the foam inserts they block sound pretty well, and are reasonably comfortable. However, I can say they are similar in comfort and protection to cheap earplugs that Amazon sells for 6 bucks a dozen. While they block the gunshots, I can't understand what people say to me when talking, so I have to take them out. This is as difficult as putting them in; if I pull the string, the filter pops out, leaving the earplugs in. I have to really grab and claw at the molded part to get it out. Remember, it's very deep in my ear, so that's not easy. When were done talking, I can't get them in before people start shooting, so I still hurt my ears. I keep a bag of the .50 cheapies in my range bag, and I've gone back to using those, as they protect every bit as well as these fancy things, but I can just pop one out when someone needs to talk, and I can get it back in quickly. I regret buying these, as they were not cheap, and they don't work as advertised.

Does work as ear plugs was expecting to be able to hear as clear with them until loud noises then dampen sound. Blocks noise but could have a conversation with someone next to you without yelling. Very good fit and easy to mold to ear with carrying case.

My hearing is very important to me and I cannot wear the over hear protection I like to wear when shooting pistol/ rifle when I am shooting clays with a shotgun as they interfere with my cheek weld. I've tried hundreds of dollars worth of passive electronic ear pro, and they're great, but they always start buzzing, humming, or the batteries go bad. I was very skeptical about these, but a coworker recommended them. I am happy to report these work great for my needs. They do not offer the amplification passive electronic ear pro does, but they do offer a higher lever of protection, and I can still hear my buddies talk without them having to talk louder. I do not hunt, and I've only shot these with sporting clays, but they worked perfect, and they were comfortable. I wore them for a good 3 hours on my first use, and had no soreness or pain. My biggest complaint is they're difficult to take out. All the same I know they will not fall out. Using two hands makes removal significantly easier. I wish I had found these sooner.

Not superior to silicone or wax ear plugs. Clearly not superior to electronic hearing protection. The molding process is straightforward. Comfort is so-so. Use for small caliber or handguns only. Not recommended for rifle. Keeping your head streamlined is the only real advantage.

Took these out to the range with the family and only bought 1 pair for me to test before I spent alot of money on a set for everyone. Molded the night before and they fit well. Pros - Used with .22, .40, .45, 223/5.56, .308/7.62, 12ga and 300 win mag. Worked as intended for everything but the 300 win mag but that was expected. Cons - Price was extremely high. On sale for over $50. Not very easy to take out and putting them back in was a pain as I would pick the wrong ear every now and then because there is no L or R on them. They start to hurt after a few hours also so after about 4 hours I swapped to the oldie but goodie foam plugs. It was at that moment I realized the foam ones worked just as good and cost me $6 for a bucket of 35 pairs. Summary - Will not be buying the wife and kids their own set due to the price and the fact that they offer no advantage over old school foam plugs and I probably wont use them either as the foams are more comfortable for long term use.

The ideal user for the Decibullz custom molded percussive filters would be someone who needs hearing protection from short loud noises. As an avid hunter these percussive filters are ideal for me because I am exposed to a lot of gunshots. Another aspect that is nice is the ability to hear ambient noise and communicate with my hunting partners. Safety is a priority for me because at the end of the day returning home is the most important. Before purchasing this product I used regular earplugs that blocked out all sound. They were effective in protecting my hearing but did not fulfill all of my needs. Criteria used to evaluate this product. • Durability • Comfortability • Hearing protection • Relative cost Durability This product is made from a moldable hard plastic and is made to hold up for a long time. These filters will hold up significantly longer than regular earplugs. Comfortability The filters are custom molded to fit in your ear for a secure fit. The directions are easy to follow and if you take your time you will end up not even noticing that they are in most of the time. I routinely wear them for half of a day while siting in the duck boat and have not had a issue with my ears hurting. I regularly had issues with my previous earplugs hurting my ears after about an hour. Hearing Protection The main purpose of this product is to protect your hearing and it would be useless if it did not. At the end of the day, this is the best product I have found to suit my needs as a hunter needing hearing protection. Relative Cost Compared to similar hearing protection products this one is moderately cheap. I like the fact that I do not have to worry about batteries as I would with an electronic version. Some electronic products can cost upwards of a couple hundred dollars. This product is well worth the money at just seventy-five dollars.

Bought these so I can hear orders on the rifle range. It only works a little better than straight earplugs.

I've been using them for over two years now and they've held up really good. Doesn't offer the most hearing protection but I always double up anyways (as you should) so it's good enough for me. Nice to be able to hear other people talk when you're wearing electronic muffs over them. Fit and comfort is amazing, have no issues with wearing them all day. Haven't had to re-mold them or anything.

Après avoir essayé de les mouler le plus correctement possible, les dispositifs ne sont toujours pas réducteur de bruit. Ça ou rien c’est pareil. Ne l’achetez pas à moins de vouloir jeté votre argent à la poubelle.

Ich war erst etwas skeptisch ob diese Stöpsel halten werden was sie versprechen, aber ich wurde positiv überrascht. Die normalen Geräusche sind deutlich klarer und weniger gedämpt als ich dies bei einem System ohne elektrische Unterstützung erwartet hätte. Trotzdem werden laute Geräusche effektiv reduziert. Das Anpassen der Ohrformen war einfacher als gedacht. Es lagen gleich zwei Sätze des Formmaterials dabei, damit man einmal üben kann. Aber auch das erneute Umformen funktioniert problemlos. Es sind je 3 größen Silikon- und Schaumstoffohrstöpsel für den Gehörgang enthalten, so dass jeder eine für ihn angenehme Variante finden sollte.

Bought for my husband for shooting. Slightly reluctant but they have been great. Easy to mold and fit highly recommend
